Morning Prayer

Morning Prayer is offered Monday-Friday in the chapel except some holidays. It is a quiet, contemplative service led by a lay reader.

Morning Prayer once was the chief Sunday service in most Anglican churches on three out of four Sundays, the First Sunday usually being a celebration of Holy Communion. This practice has not continued because the Eucharist has been recognized as the “principal act of Christian worship on the Lord’s Day” in most parishes (see BCP, p. 13), However, Morning Prayer is clearly designated as a daily service for the worship of the church. This usage reflects the ancient tradition of the Daily Office.

The mission of Christ Episcopal Church
is to be a part of the present day embodiment of Christ in the world.
